Chant School
Music: https://gregobase.selapa.net/chant.php?id=3038 The Parce Domine is based on a passage from the book of Joel, and has its origins as a chant as early as the 6th century. Today Thomas is joined by a special guest host. We hope she's willing to come back and join us again! 1. Let us appease His wrath, Beg for mercy from our Judge; Cry to Him in supplication, Let us all prostrate and say: 2. By our sins we have offended against your mercy, O God Pour forth from above O pardoning One, your forgiveness 3. Having given us this acceptable time, grant that in the water of our tears we may purify our heart and that it may become a joyful sacrifice offered out of love. 4. O Merciful Creator, hear our prayers with our weeping in this holy time of forty day fasting.
About Podcast
In the Chant School, you will learn the most ancient melodies and texts in the Christian tradition. St. Hugh of Cluny once spoke of how the learning, practicing, and singing of Gregorian chant is a sure way to grow in holiness, in closeness to the Word, and in submission to the discipline of singing God’s praises. Floriani has taken these words to heart, and it is our intent to inspire and educate the next generation of Catholic musicians in the spirit of this beautiful inheritance. We hope you enjoy learning how to sing Gregorian Chant -- the greatest artistic treasure of the Catholic Church!
